I'll take $8,500 from a Rennlister. I paid $11,000 3 months ago.

The only 911 I would consider (that I could actually kind of afford...at least when I was working) would be a 996 Twin Turbo, 997 TT, or current 997/911...those are the only ones that I see as being ahead of even an S4...NA 996 is a step down in just about every conceivable way... YMMV!

your mom had a chrome toaster. It had chrome that looked like liguid mercury. It toasted two slices of toast...everyday for years and years. It originally came with a round, cloth covered electical cord, but lasted for so many years that the cord had been replaced many times.

Hey Steve
Too bad the 928 didn't work out for you. I hope the new car treats you better The 996 is a used supercar as well and not immune to issues and not as shadetree-mechanic friendly as the 928, so cross you fingers!
Where did the 928 end up? Did it go to a Rennlister?

It didn't go to a Rennlister, sorry. I actually traded it in at a used car dealership. They gave me 7 grand. I lost 4 grand on this deal and I'm pretty upset about that.
I could hear the rear passenger wheel bearing beginning to go as I was trading it in. That car scared the hell out of me.
It's a shame to, I've always wanted a 928. I was so excited to get it. It just gave me too many problems too soon.
You guy's have been GREAT!!!
I'm still a Rennlister...just now a 996 Rennlister.
Stay in touch fellas.

I suspect he got a car "discounted" by $7k with his 928 as trade-in, and impulsively jumped on it for the sake of simplicity/immediacy.
Interesting 996 he bought - regular 996 with GT3 side skirts, and GT2 front bumper? Hope he had a PPI done.
+1 - better still, find out which dealer, and offer them $4k cash for it now before its gone.

When I made the $7K offer, I thought that he would probably get $4-5K from a dealer for the car. I'm guessing that he could have paid a couple grand less for the 996 if he wasn't trading in the 928. Who knows, maybe he found a dealer who really likes 928s

Once I negotiated a deal with a dealer and then told him that I have trade it. His reaction was, "why didn't you tell me this first?". MY smart a$$ reply way..."why... does it really matter?"
Right after this, the deal fell apart. I would be AMAZED if a dealer offer $7 on 23 year 928. They can move the numbers around so it looks like the trade-in is $7, but you will never know unless you do what I did.
